GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Burlington Industries, Inc. (NYSE:BUR) on Nov. 15 filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as it struggles with heavy debt, competition from cheaper imported textiles and a drop in consumer spending.
Company chairman and CEO George W. Henderson, III, said the textile manufacturing giant will reorganize to concentrate on its Lees Carpets business, expand global business through a Hong Kong subsidiary and accelerate manufacturing improvements in its North American operations.
The filing included 24 Burlington subsidiaries. It was made in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Del., a day after Greensboro-based apparel maker VF Corp. announced it would slash 13,000 jobs.
Burlington said the filing would accelerate its move to modify its business model, so filed under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
"This decision was not made lightly and we believe it is in the best interest of the long-term viability of the company," said Henderson. "We recognize the need for aggressive and comprehensive change in our business model and we can no longer afford the time needed to incrementally transition the company. By utilizing the Chapter 11 process, we can control and guide our reorganization activities under the protection of the court to expedite the debt and operational restructuring that we have been pursuing and at the same time ensure that our daily operations continue uninterrupted."
Burlington Industries also announced it has received a commitment for a facility of up to $190 million in debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing underwritten by J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. Still subject to court approval, Henderson said DIP financing would augment the company's liquidity to provide adequate funding for operations during the reorganization period.
The company said it expects to generate positive cash flow during fiscal 2002, and anticipates no disruption in daily operations at the company's headquarters or manufacturing plants, or in the delivery of customer orders.
Burlington also reported a net loss of $76.7 million for its fourth quarter, compared to a net loss of $523.7 million for the same period last year. Net sales slid to $327 million in the quarter from $427 million a year ago. About $57 million of the sales reduction relates to businesses sold or closed during the fiscal year, the company said.
For the year, Burlington reported a net loss of $91.1 million, compared with a net loss of $527 million in 2000. Sales fell to $1.4 billion from $1.6 billion.
It has been in a restructuring program the past 21/2 years that resulted in plant closings and layoffs, but the changes weren't enough, Henderson said.
Burlington Industries (www.burlington.com) is one of the world's largest manufacturers of textiles used for apparel and interior furnishings. It has plants in the United States, Mexico and India.

RAID 0 on a two-disk system isn't much of a mirror. More like an image reflected from the wrapper on a stick of gum. No mention of keeping a mirror on another system.
They suspect a former employee, but how is it possible that a former employee gained access to their system? An utter lack of security, most likely.
The real kicker is, of course, that the fee from DriveSavers would have been as much as an entire year of revenue for Journalspace.
Faulty tech? Yeah. Faulty business model? Definitely! At some point you have to take the system out of the basement and put it in a storefront.

I broke a mirror when I was 17. That same year I got bullied to death in school. Before I was that age, I was very cool with mostly everybody in the school. I knew almost everyone. And before the mirror accident, I had beautiful skin but after the mirror accident I broke out in major acne that didn't fade until several years later after hard work for treating it and keeping healthy. My boyfriend cheated on me with numerous men. Everything just tore apart after that mirror accident.
Then, several years later, everything was okay and normal until about three years ago when I broke another mirror and have experienced some terrible bad luck since then. I had major depression and my new car got stolen and never was found. So I guess breaking a mirror was a short, unexpected note of saying that bad luck is shortly to come my way. I did some bad things in my life. Everyone does. But I've never learned my lesson. I stole things from stores and took revenge on a lot of people that I haven't yet had the chance to forgive.

Discipline and Longevity
In my last entry, I shared a quote from NFL football player J.J. Watts. He spoke of his desire to make the most of his playing career. He has no time for distractions and is 100 percent focused on continuous improvement.
To no surprise, you will hear similar wisdom shared by Bernard Hopkins in the video below.
And while some may label his advice as common sense, I can say that it is everything but common. I have seen countless athletes who only abide by such advice when it is convenient or forced upon them. Many athletes simply do not have the discipline to follow such a lifestyle year after year.
As a result, the longevity displayed by Hopkins is rarely seen in any sport. He began fighting professionally in 1988. That was over 25 years ago. In other words, he has critics today that were not even alive when he was already fighting professionally. Hopkins is currently 49 years old and is the oldest boxer to ever win a world championship.
His most recent titles were not his first however. Previously, Hopkins reigned as the middleweight champion for over a decade. He had 20 consecutive world title defenses during that time. And while his middleweight reign seems like a distant memory, there were critics who had already counted him out in his mid thirties. I vividly recall when Hopkins was preparing to fight Felix Trinidad in 2001. Trinidad entered the bout at 40-0. He was fresh off a brutal knockout over William Joppy and many expected him to do the same to the older Hopkins. Bernard had different plans. I was fortunate to sit ringside as he put on a boxing clinic and dominated Trinidad before stopping him in the final round.
Much of the boxing world was shocked to see such a performance from a 36 year old fighter. I was not surprised at all. It was a few months prior to that fight when I was fortunate to run a 5K race with Hopkins. At that time, he adamantly proclaimed that he was going to be around for a LONG time.
Thirteen years later, we have come to expect nothing less from this ageless warrior. I won't be surprised if Hopkins wins another title as a 50 year old man. I will not count him out until he is down and out.
In summary, if you are a young and aspiring athlete, you will be hard pressed to find better advice than the wisdom he shares above. Athletes do not last that long by accident. Hopkins takes discipline to a level that most cannot endure. I have heard of many fighters who have literally packed up and left his training camps in the middle of the night. The discipline and work ethic that he demands is more than most can handle. Once again, it all boils down to how much you are willing to sacrifice to become the best that you can be. And while not everyone is up to the challenge, at least recognize and appreciate the uniqueness of his accomplishments.
It takes no effort to be ordinary. Ordinary is not even a challenge. You can do nothing and be ordinary. – Bernard Hopkins

People used to marvel at Ancient Archie Moore, but even Archie was heavy, bloated, and greying his last couple of years. Archie hung them up as an overweight heavyweight at 48. Hopkins is still among the best in the world at almost 50 years old. Incredible!
DoomRater July 15th, 2014 10:29 am
As powerful as Marciano was, didn't he too decide the discipline wasn't for him and that's when he stopped?
katherine July 16th, 2014 8:10 am
I was thinking about Ronda Rousey this a.m. when I was doing my workout. Thinking about all her sacrifice and self-discipine to get to the elite level she's at.
I was feeling slow,fat and lazy in comparison so I got on here to get some inspiration. Thanx Ross. I love these stories. Gonna go run some hills now. Swim later for fun. -
Sven July 17th, 2014 7:27 am
one of the true legends in any sport – not just boxing. in my eyes the only on of two all-time-greats of the last 15yrs.
but not only that – he truly is a wise man, not just because of his age but rather of his knowledge what it takes to become successful. -
beytzim July 18th, 2014 1:07 pm
the best line of the video "99 percent are trainers and 1 percent are teachers" So true!
Yves July 25th, 2014 5:35 am
With all your experience as a coach, do you think one is born with discipline or it's something that can be developed with time? I always seems to be falling behind with my training goals to the point where some days I wonder if I'm just never gonna be a "disciplined" person… Just wondering what was your thought on this.Thanks for this post. Very inspiring to hear Hopkins talk like that especially when most of what we hear these days in the fighting world is the cash, cars and bitc… All the best Ross
Joe July 25th, 2014 4:20 pm

Your pic with B Hop is awesome!
How old were you in that pic?
Dinamita August 31st, 2014 11:32 am
Archie also followed a bad diet he was heavy on sweets. when i see Hopkins on this clip it automatically reminded me of Herschel Walker who is past 50 and still very disciplined and looking young.

Mirj's Note:
I found this recipe a few days ago on one of my foodie blogs, made it almost immediately, and I now have a new favorite. I'll be making this many times over until I'm sick of it, if that can be possible. Many years ago I used to be a vegan and went carnivore, but if I had had this around, I might have stuck with it a little longer. I alter the recipe here and there, and have posted a few changes. The original recipe states that this is for 4, but I could just graze on this all day long.
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- fine grain sea salt
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas (canned is fine, if you don't want to cook up a pot of dried chickpeas)
- 8 ounces extra firm tofu, cubed
- 1 cup of chopped kale (I've also used spinach)
- 2 small zucchini, chopped (I don't even peel them)
- 1/2 lemon, juice and zest of
- 1Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil In a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in a big pinch of salt, the onion, and chickpeas.
- 2Saute until the chickpeas are deeply golden and crusty.
- 3Stir in the tofu and cook just until the tofu is heated through, just a minute or so.
- 4Stir in the kale and cook for one minute more.
- 5Remove everything from the skillet onto a large plate and set aside.
- 6In the same skillet heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, add the zucchini and saute until it starts to take on a bit of color, two or three minutes.
- 7Add the chickpea mixture back to the skillet, and remove from heat.
- 8Stir in the lemon juice and zest, taste, and season with a bit more salt if needed.
- 9Turn out onto a platter and serve.

China's benchmark money-market rate fell for the first time in four days on speculation cash supply will improve as the central bank adds funds to the financial system.
The People's Bank of China injected 10 billion yuan ($1.6 billion) yesterday via seven-day reverse-repurchase agreements at 3.9 percent, according to a statement on its website. The PBOC asked lenders to submit orders today for 14-day reverse repos and 28-day repo contracts, and gauged demand for 91-day bills, according to a trader at a primary dealer required to bid at the auctions.
"It's extremely unlikely for China to have another interbank liquidity crunch in the near future," Zhi Xiaojia and Lu Ting, Hong Kong-based economists at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, wrote in a report. "Interbank rates may inch up in the second half of September, but most likely the PBOC will do whatever it can to prevent a possible liquidity squeeze."
The seven-day repo rate, a gauge of funding availability in the banking system, declined 15 basis points, or 0.15 percentage point, to 3.48 percent as of 10:44 a.m. in Shanghai, a weighted average compiled by the National Interbank Funding Center showed. Chinese markets will be shut during Sept. 19-20 for the mid-Autumn festival and Oct. 1-7 for the National Day holidays.
The cost of one-year interest rate swap contracts, the fixed payment to receive the floating seven-day repo rate, was unchanged at 4.16 percent, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
China may accelerate the opening of its capital account to achieve sustainable economic growth, according to a commentary in China Securities Journal by reporter Ren Xiao.
The yield on the government's 4.08 percent bonds due August 2023 increased six basis points to 4.15 percent, according to prices from the Interbank Funding Center.

So, I've been having trouble giving my Hoyas adequate time lately, but this weekend I gave them a thorough going over and was surprised at how many budding peduncles were popping up... everywhere! I guess a lot of the Hoyas I bought when I was starting out are finally turning the corner. xD Anyway, most of the buds are too small to get in focus right now, but I thought I'd share a couple of pics with you. The more mature set of paulshirleyii buds (pictures 2-3) are about 4mm in diameter. The australis are about 8mm, so they're getting quite big and I just noticed them for the first time on Friday lol. I have 9 australises and this is the first one to bloom for me, so I did a little dance on the ceiling. Maybe... other people will also take some pictures of their buds. *hint hint* Because I love bud pictures! Happy bud watching everyone! Hoya paulshirleyii: Hoya australis: |
Follow-Up Postings:
You lucky girl with so many hoyas with buds. I am not so lucky,I have a few hoyas with peduncles growing from each new set of leaves but they do not bud up. One such hoya is 0153 mulitflora and it is full of peduncles but no flowers:) Cindy |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Mon, Dec 17, 12 at 22:59
oo! I have to say I would be very excited about that one being in bud! I just got a cutting of it this fall from Iris and I cannot even begin to express how deeply satisfying it was to have a shot at comparing the multiflora to the javanica. Mine rooted but no buds yet lol... |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Wed, Dec 19, 12 at 11:21
I'm still having trouble with seeing every batch of buds to term, but even when lasiantha aborts, I still find the development of these buds particularly stunning. I love the way they just drip from the peduncle like ruby wax. Hoya lasiantha: |

These started opening last night. Thank goodness, because nothing else went right that night... >_> This is a plant I bought as simply Hoya australis, from Violet Barn back when I was first discovering there was more than one Hoya. It is one of the prettiest australis collections I own. Its leaves are large as a palm and perfectly round and it branches a lot, so it's very full looking. It looks like a bouquet all the time. Their website describes the fragrance as chocolate vanilla, which I can't work out since to me it smells mostly just ... like a very classic floral perfume. I'll have to smell it again tonight - I was pretty stressed and tired when I was snapping these at 1 in the morning. Hope everyone is staying warm and dry and safe in the blizzard! Hoya australis: |

Congrats on the flowers, GG! Most of my Hoyas are sleeping, so it seems. I am keeping an eye on my shepherdii peduncles though. Bella has some new growth, so maybe I'll finally see some flowers on it. Brad AKA Moonwolf |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Thu, Dec 20, 12 at 12:44
I bet you will! It's a quick bloomer! Even my variegated one bloomed when it was still small enough to fit inside a small tissue box. I know some people have good enough windows/rooms to grow without artificial light in the winter, but when I try most of my Hoyas slow down like yours. So, I guess I'm doomed to be a permanent artificial light junkie. Still, it's not so bad having a slow season to give the gardener some recovery time... |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Mon, Dec 24, 12 at 10:41
This is actually my sister's (one) Hoya. She doesn't know much about growing plants, but this is a good Hoya for someone who leans more toward underwatering than overwatering. She sent me a pretty funny txt when she first noticed these, saying "What is this?!" Hoya polystachya IML 1043: |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Sun, Dec 30, 12 at 0:02
This one is such a nice faithful bloomer. Hoya sp. Kalimantan (IML 1168) I haven't had any fantastic lacunosa displays yet, as my plants are still fairly small, but they each give me a peduncle here and there. I notice their leaves are brilliant again now that it's winter. I was afraid it was changing my lights that had made them look so dull all summer. Hoya lacunosa Sno Caps I've been meaning to photograph these for a while. I first noticed them when I came home after Christmas. The buds are now pretty mature and will probably open soon. This is a first time bloomer for me. I love the leaves on this plant. If you like heavily speckled leaves it's one to get for sure. Hoya sp. Ko Chang Island (IML 1508) It looks like the first buds on my australis are closing now, so they lasted about 10 days (although clearly the peduncle as a whole will span a greater period, as they didn't all open at once). Hoya australis |
GG, you sure do have a few hoyas in bloom,lucky you.I just love australis.Not to much trying to flower except cystiantha and praetorii has fat buds. I hope spring will bring me a tone of flowers,I have so many growing peduncles. I took this morning to show you all. |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Mon, Dec 31, 12 at 8:33
Thought I'd throw in another australis, this one's ssp rupicola. As you can see, it's had a bit of history. Took the photo at night because the camera wouldn't do a close focus in the daylight. Also have lacunosa budding and flowering. But the buds are too small to come out and the flowers end up as a white glare with my camera. |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Mon, Dec 31, 12 at 11:45
@ Cindy Are those the praetorii buds? They sure are chunky! If those are praetorii and not cystiantha, I'm really surprised they look so different from those of lasiantha. Neat! @TB Cool story on the night photography. The shot didn't actually come out bad at all. Those buds look so cute, like a cluster of fuzzy little moth bums or something. I keep promising myself 'no more night pictures!' but I keep taking them anyway because I only mess around with my plants at night. The plant lights provide sufficient light, but I get a lot of nasty glare. :( |
GG yes those buds are from praetorii.When you showed your lasiantha buds,I thought hay that's not what my lasiantha buds look like.So had to go look at the tag and realized it was praetorii.LOL |
- Posted by greedyghost 5 (My Page) on Tue, Jan 1, 13 at 17:01
That really is fascinating, Cindy. I find the lasiantha buds keep a squared off look even as they grow fat. Here's an old picture. Hoya lasiantha Really different, huh? Here are some DS-70 buds. This is the plant in a north facing window, and not really a super bright north facing window, either, as the next building is only an alley's distance away. Annyway, it's been blooming and budding, budding and blooming since late fall. Hoya sp. DS-70 Also here is the Ko Chang Island, which just started opening today. It smells wonderful! Like honeysuckle. I also took some pictures that included the foliage so you could check it out if you haven't seen it. Hoya sp. Ko Chang Island (IML 1508) |
Ko Chang Island looks like one I might have to try to get this year. praetorii buds are not red like lasiantha but green. I have lasiantha just starting to grow a peduncle,I will have to pay closer attention. Cindy |
I agree with cpawl on getting that Ko Chang Island! What gorgeous leaves! And yes, the flowers are great too. ;-) |

How To Enjoy The Holidays Without Getting Fat
In general, it helps to take smaller portions than you're used to. There's obviously enough room for more if you decide you want it. Before deciding, though, try waiting at least 10 minutes. It can take 20 minutes or more to register fullness, but sometimes even that smaller amount of time helps you to think about a choice rather than just mindlessly digging in. Alcohol adds calories, and it often leads to eating more than you need to or had planned for. So, if you sip slowly, drink less overall, fill up with water or seltzer in between, you'll usually eat less too. You'll feel better afterward on both counts. 5 Reasons You're Not Losing Weight
Keeping certain routines in place, to whatever extent possible,will help as well. For example, try not to stop exercising, even if you have to miss an occasional day. Invite others to take a walk with you after a big meal. You can make that a new tradition. Try to get enough sleep, too. For this affects your weight, appetite and stress level, too. Even if your schedule will be disrupted, think ahead of how you can minimize lost sleep time.
In the end, it comes down to this: our typical holiday season gets packed with too much to do, feels stressful, emphasizes unhealthy overeating and drinking, and lasts for weeks. If we care about our eating and weight overall, we face the question of how to focus on what feels good and meaningful while cutting out, or at least reducing, what doesn't. Any improvement in any year helps build for more the next and the next after that. Then, we can start our new year feeling good about how these weeks have gone, and about ourselves.

The Forest Service completed the previous Francis Marion Land and Resource Management Plan, more commonly known as the forest plan, in 1995. It focused on managing the Francis Marion in the wake of Hurricane Hugo, which devastated the forest in 1989.
During the last 16 years, the communities surrounding the Francis Marion National Forest have grown and changed significantly. Now we face different opportunities and challenges, and we need your help.
The new forest plan will be developed under the 2012 forest planning rule, which places greater emphasis on public involvement than ever before. We have excellent relationships with many private landowners, local communities, agencies and other organizations on the coast; however, we need more information and input as we move forward with this new, important planning effort.
Find more answers by viewing the Frequently Asked Questions webpage of our national planning office.
Collaboration is an ongoing process where two or more people or organizations work together toward an intersection of common goals. The 2012 rule strengthens the role of public involvement and dialogue throughout the planning process. During the plan revision, the Francis Marion National Forest will rely on collaboration and has developed a public participation strategy and has made available the Talking Points Collaborative Mapping Tool for users to view maps and to leave comments.

Gear Question
Im 5ft10in n i weigh about 150ish.. im...
Im 5ft10in n i weigh about 150ish.. im looking for a good jibb board with a ton of flex... my current board is 158 K2.. what would be a good board size for me?
Kris McGregor
Well im 6' 170lbs and I ride a 154 in the park and all around. I've ridden a 152, but it was with rocker tech which allows you to drop a few cm in length. So if you're looking for a good jib size, I would say around a 152-154 would be best in the park for you. And if you're looking for a sick jib deck, this is not the one to get. If you like K2 the I would go for a WWW(rocker or reg), or a Parkstar. If not I would reccomend Rome decks, because they are sick. Either the Artifact(reg or 1985), Postermania(reg or 1985), or the Graft. All of them are sick in the park and all around. Hope this helps bro

Heart blacker than a Harlem night
Til I met you,
from Justin Timberlake (Ft. A$AP Rocky, J. Cole & Pusha T) – TKO (Black Friday Remix) Lyrics on Genius
Not only is Harlem known for its predominant African-American population (Being it the birthplace of the Harlem Renaissance and many rappers coming out of the area).
But the movie Harlem Nights stars a predominant black cast (Eddie Murphy, Redd Foxx, Richard Pryor, Della Reese,etc)
Also not only would a night in Harlem be black as in the appearance but with the crime & urban decay prevalent in the area, there's sure to be many people with black hearts.

Hi There!!
I'm looking at hiking a small portion of the trail, between Tahquamenon falls and the mouth of the two hearted river, and am wondering if that area has any dog restrictions? I've been unable to find a definitive answer on it, and would rather not get up there only to learn we can't have our pups with us.. Any help?

Where can I get the written description of the 3 trail maps? At the first TH the 3 chapter maps are posted along with a written description of the trail. It would be helpful to have this. Is it on the web page anywhere?? Thanks! JO

"I found this recipe when browsing for something I could make one evening with just baking staples and apples. We tried it and itturned out great! My 4 yr old daughter and I make it quite often now (she asks for it); it's a hit with her and me AND it's EASY to make. Thanks for posting."
"I needed to make something for a school breakfast so another parent and I got together and agreed that she'd make the biscuits and I'd make the gravy. Having never made gravy before, I did a trial run last night. It came out really good, I just thought that it was a little too thick for my taste. I made it again in the morning (multiplied by 2.5) ..."
"My daughter never liked sweet potatoes, that's until I made these chips! They turned out great. I didn't use cheese or pepper, just potatoes, oil and salt. Yummy."
"This was delicious. Made a big pitcher and we (family of 3) finished it in a couple of hrs, then I was asked to make it again. It was great. I never thought of combining lemons and oranges but the result was so good. We really enjoyed it. I will definitely make it for my Romanian family next time I go."
"Honestly, I was disappointed because the sauce was too strong for my taste so I gave it 1 star. There was too much soy sauce, sugar, and garlic. But that's just me. DH loved it, he gave it 5 stars so our average is 3 stars. I will be adding this to my roster since DH loved it and it was fairly easy to make."
"I rate this recipe based on having eaten this dish countless times in my life; it's great with French bread and slices of tomato.To improve color, cut back on some of the salt and oil and add some mayonnaise instead. Make sure it's real mayo. This will really lighten up the color (it will look similar to guacamole) and add a little "something" t..."

We basically live on three open acres surrounded by open farm land and our rear deck is about 6-7 feet high. Other than placing a 1000 pounds worth of hot tub on the deck we've been very about placing patio furniture on it, because we didn't want it to blow away. We were looking at purchasing some heavy teak furniture, but we decided to purchase some heavy cast aluminum furniture instead...and believe me not all cast aluminum furniture is heavy. We also purchased all rocker type seats, because the bases will make more contact with the deck surface (more friction). The table top has a design on it, which also includes some holes...so hopefully the table wont act like a wind sail.
Our question....whats the best ways to weight down the chairs and tables when they're not in use? I was going to come-up with some-type of quick clipping system to attach the chairs to the table, so they all stay together. Is there some type of bag filled with heavy synthetic material (non-corrosive) that I could attach to the table and maybe some of the chairs? Thanks in advance. |

Different types of materials are used for manufacturing garden and patio furniture, which are designed to live outdoors. Make sure the material is durable and aesthetically correct for your home. Wood, wrought iron, cast aluminum and hard plastic are the most common materials used in garden chair and table manufacturing. If you are going to keep the furniture outside all year long, make sure the material is waterproof. |

When the Movies Took Manhattan: NYC Through the Eyes of Hollywood in the 1980s
Features By Christopher Campbell on July 18, 2014 | Be the First To Comment"The big city? Cops? Shootings? Car chases? That kind of thing?" "Well, no. No shooting stuff. It's more like songs and dances." – Exchange between Dabney Coleman and Kermit the Frog, The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984) "It's like this. We live in claustrophobia, the land of steel and concrete. Trapped by dark waters. There is no escape. Nor do we want it. We've come to thrive on it and each other. You can't get the adrenaline pumpin' without the terror, good people. I love this town." – Radio DJ, Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989) "When people see New York in the movies, they want to come here." – Mayor Ed Koch, The New York Times (1985) Two movies released in the 1980s used the phrase "Take(s) Manhattan" in their title. The first was the latest G-rated feature starring lovable puppet characters from a popular children's variety show. The second was the latest R-rated installment of a slasher horror franchise. Released almost exactly five years apart, they each saw their familiar — iconic even — characters visit New York City, and with slightly varying results they each made light of the rotting of the Big Apple at the time, creating pieces of virtual tourism that either dismissed or embraced the fact that the place was turning into a terrifying cesspool that no outsider should dare enter.
Over/Under: 'The Muppets Take Manhattan' vs. 'Muppet Treasure Island'
Features By Nathan Adams on November 22, 2011 | Comments (3)After cutting his puppetry teeth on short films and episodes of Sesame Street in the late 60s and early 70s, legendary puppeteer Jim Henson finally got a chance to give his felt faced creations a spotlight show of their own in the mid 70s. That show was The Muppet Show, and it was awesome. So awesome that it eventually spawned a series of feature films. While there's always room for conflicting opinions, some consensuses (consensii?) about these movies have popped up over the years. It seems that all Muppets are not created equal. Generally everyone agrees that the original film, The Muppet Movie, was the best. And it's also largely agreed that the first three movies, the ones that still had Jim Henson involvement, are better than the ones that came after. While there's some general truthiness to these beliefs, I can't say that I think those divisions hold up as absolute truths. Thank God, this column would have been a wreck otherwise.

Rotten Tomatoes Critic Who Panned 'Dark Knight Rises' Gives Real Review: 'It's The Weakest of The Three, But I Liked it Overall' (EXCLUSIVE)
The catch: He hadn't actually seen the movie yet.
"I was going after two groups, both worthy of satire in my opinion," he explained to Celebuzz. "One was the people who post outraged comments on Rotten Tomatoes quotes without actually reading the review. The other was the people who watch the Tomato score so reverently in the days leading up to a film's release, and who flip out if it goes down at all -- as if the Tomato score affects them or the movie in any way."
"I think those are dumb things to get mad about, so I provided an opportunity for people to get mad about them, for comedy. I'm not saying it's the best joke in the world, but it did what it was supposed to, with no actual harm done," he added.
In his teaser quote on Rotten Tomatoes, a site that aggregates movie reviews, Snider referred to The Dark Knight Rises as "easily the most disappointing Batman film so far," comparing it to Joel Schumacher's 1995 hiccup Batman & Robin.
Snider then linked the review, which he said was written for Film.com, to a "gotcha!" post on his personal blog, in which he informed readers that, no, he hadn't seen the movie.
"I just wanted to post a negative quote on Rotten Tomatoes and see how many idiots would type angry words at me without actually clicking the link to read the review, he wrote.
This led the staff of Rotten Tomatoes -- which had to temporarily shut off user comments this week after readers began to attack any critic who gave a negative review of The Dark Knight Rises -- to remove Snider's reviews from the Tomatometer.
The decision was announced in a long letter written by the site's Editor-in-Chief, Matt Atchity.
Now that the dust has settled, Snider -- who pulled a similar prank when The Dark Knight opened in 2008 -- admits he's sorry about one thing: attributing the review to Film.com, a site he occasionally writes for.
"I do write for that site, but of course they had nothing to do with this, and they got dragged into it. So I'm sorry about that," he said.
"My reasoning was simply that the joke would be funnier if my super-negative quote were attributed a higher-profile site, regardless of where the link was actually going," he added. "'This is even worse than 'Batman & Robin' -- Eric D. Snider, Film.com' is better than 'This is even worse than 'Batman & Robin' -- Eric D. Snider, EricDSnider.com.'"
"The other time I did it, the RT guy who contacted me afterward was pretty laid-back about it, like it wasn't a big deal. I think that things were a little more stressful at RT headquarters this time because of what was happening with the other "Dark Knight Rises" commenters, and they were in no mood for foolishness. I can definitely understand that," he said.
"They have to take the Tomatometer seriously. It may be a silly thing in the grand scheme of life, but it's what they do, and so they can't have people screwing around with it. I can appreciate that," he added.
Incidentally, Snider says he did finally see The Dark Knight Rises, which he later reviewed on his website -- for real, this time.
"I think it's the weakest of the three, but I liked it overall," he told Celebuzz.

Have been lurking the boards and have seen many positive reviews of both cabinet lines. I know these are not an apples to apples comparison, but now that it comes time to spend my money, I need some help deciding.
comparing Brookhaven frameless to Medallion designer gold (plywood box). I have found a door style and a finish I like from both. Slightly prefer the medallion door style. Slightly prefer the Brookhaven finish. Cost is coming in less than $1k difference with the Medallion still being the more expensive including a current promotion. Total cabinets cost just under 17k. Both kitchen designs will include most all of the upgrades such as: soft closed drawers and doors, pull out drawer bases and finished endpanels all around. For similar money, is either one hands down a better choice? In 20 years, which one will have stood the test of time? Many thanks for your oppinions. |

I'm only a ghost...but a ghost isn't nothing
Gangster and deadbeat dad, Ulysses Pick, embarks on an unusual journey through his home.
Popular reviews
Film #4 in The June Challenge
Guy Maddin's Keyhole is an amalgam of the gangster and horror genres, blended together into an absurdist and expressionistic portrayal of memory and guilt. The film is incredibly strange, focusing on the main character's odyssey through his home as he works to recover his memories and receive forgiveness from his wife.
The entirety of the film takes place in Ulysses' home, with a mingling of the past and present through the spectral manifestations of the characters' memories. The gangster scenes of the film are darkly comic, with a lot of humourous dialogue, which stands in stark contrast to the eerie atmosphere of the film. Even a few of the ghosts are presented in comedic…
Hodgepodge of genre iconography and themes of family trauma strained through Maddin's typically rigorous aesthetic sifter. To what end? I have no clue.
Intoxicating! Maddin's films always feel like a hallucinatory drug to me. A trip into altered states of mind. I thought Keyhole was brilliant and still very true to Maddin's unique style of film making. But what is ironic here in Keyhole is it is not Maddin's trademark superimposing lightning speed editing and psychotic visuals that overpowers the film, it is actually an acting performance. One done by Jason Patric who seizes his role with an almighty forcefulness. Maddin continues to do what he does best, twist the medium into something strange, demented and above all original. Keep doing what you are doing Guy. 8/10
"Never trust your eyes" our hero is told - and Maddin's delirious trompe-l'oeil style is uniquely suited to a world (as in My Winnipeg) where fantasy is indistinguishable from reality, ghosts from the living, and a tragic twist from a bad memory. He cuts almost as often as Michael Bay, and this isn't one of his funnier films (despite "milk-drinking Ned" and yahtzee-playing Brucie), but it's a triumphant meld of genres, mostly film noir and hothouse family drama, and the melancholy ambience - "sorrow lingers"; nothing can be fixed; you can put furniture back the way it was, but you can't replace a life - keeps the dazzling style grounded. Maddin may seem a little samey now, and not always deep or substantial (though students of pernicious patriarchy - a disembodied penis! - may beg to differ), but posterity will cherish his single-mindedness as it does Cocteau's and Von Sternberg's.
I like Guy Maddin, but I did not like Keyhole. The biggest problem with the film is its cast. Maddin grouped accomplished actors like Isabella Rossellini, Udo Kier, and Jason Patric with an ensemble of horrible amateur actors. Their performances are truly atrocious—particularly, that by the actor who portrays Big Ed. I must admit that I was surprised by Jason Patric's performance. I expected him not to be good, but he's actually impressive.
Although creative and original, the story is a mess that is difficult to follow and did not maintain my interest. There are a few scenes of brilliance—most all of them involving Rossellini—but, as a whole, Keyhole was a fail for me.
The amateur whirlwind of Maddin's worst opening slowly gives way to an absorbing surrealist mystery. It's like a dream that takes place at this family house looming with Freudian symbolism (though with all those perky breasts and ill-fitting wife-beaters Maddin could stand to turn up the Kenneth Anger knob of his personality, which thankfully provides at least a scene where David Wontner is naked in ropes). What at first felt the least like Maddin's work due to its community theater acting and Baby's First Editing Suite style becomes as quintessentially Maddin as all the rest, a creepy, hilarious expressionist illustration of the bonds of family.
A naked old man in chains runs around whipping people, Isabella Rossellini positively glows, and…

Grandioser Retro-Noir von Guy Maddin, toll besetzt (Rossellini, Kier), mit gutem Tempo, Pathos, Schmerz und seelenverwinkelter Story.
Acting brought it down for me. The final scene was my favorite part. Weird and interesting film.
This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Read my NPR review.
A naked old man chained in the attic watches over his daughter. Mobsters hole themselves downstairs as the police form a perimeter around the mansion. The recently drowned girl among them is suspiciously cognizant. Such is the world of Guy Maddin's Keyhole, and to anyone who has previously acquainted themselves with the Canadian auteur's phantasmagorias, little comes as a surprise. Long before The Artist, Maddin has painstakingly attempted to recreate the look of silent and early sound cinema, drawing much from the likes of F.W. Murnau and Robert Wiene. Keyhole might be his easiest to pigeonhole into any sort of genre – it is roughly a film noir, with a melodramatic narrative as seen through the eyes of a haunted,…
Certain movies require second or third viewings :(
I'm generally a Maddin fan, but this was painful.
I wish I could bump this up a half star or so and I went back and forth on doing that simply because I love the concept, but in the end it doesn't sustain itself as well as say, a David Lynch Maybe on a rewatch. Still, I have to give it a lot of credit for trying. A movie with both Udo Kier and Kevin McDonald is going to be something special, no matter what.

Summary: "[The authors] have separated out the truth from the sinner/saint legend of Eva Perón--and, most impressively, produced a work of great political sophistication. . . . Factual, nuanced, and absorbing." --Kirkus Reviews
The story begins in a dusty village lost in the Argentine pampas, where a girl, born out of wedlock, scrambles her way to the capital city by the time she is fifteen. It ends with the embalmed corpse of Eva Perón ...show more being hidden away by nervous politicians for fear that if the working people of Argentina knew where it was buried, it would inspire them to revolution.
In between Eva Perón became first the actress Eva Duarte, then the mistress of Colonel Perón, then, in October 1945 after the "shirtless ones" had swept Perón into office, the president's wife. In the colorful, tumultuous setting of postwar Argentina, she wielded a power--spiritual and practical--that has few parallels outside of hereditary monarchy. She was literally idolized by millions but was hated and feared by many as well. She became Evita, the legend.
Nicholas Fraser has worked as a journalist for The Times (London), the Sunday Times (London), and the BBC. Marysa Navarro is a professor of history at Dartmouth College and has published a number of articles about Evita and Perónism.

How do I store Gloriosa Lily tubers? When should I dig them up? Do I let a frost kill back the above ground growth or should I dig them up before then? If they should be lifted before a frost should I leave them in the garage and let the foliage dry out or do I just cut it off? Should I store them in peat or put them in a pot of soil and keep that in a cool dark place?
TIA, Karyn |

I pulled out some of mine (just cause I had to move them and didn't have a new place for them at the time). I cut off all the growth, let them "dry" for a couple of days, and then wrapped them up in a couple of sheets of newspaper. I stored them in a box in a cool, dry place and when I finally got around to planting them about 6 or 7 months later they were fine and popped right up. |

If they are grown in pots you can store them in the pot and do not water until spring- sorta like you do gingers. I throw mine in the garage in pots and forget about them till spring. |
- Posted by karyn1 MD 7 (email@example.com) on Sat, Sep 22, 07 at 16:13
They are in the garden. I didn't even know what they were until one bloomed and honestly don't remember planting them last spring but I must have. I have stuff popping up all over that I'd forgotten about. That's what happens when your kid pulls out all the plant tags he can find. lol Karyn |
Hi Karyn, I store mine in their pot for the winter. I plan to carefully remove them from their pot this spring, presoak them, and replant them in a larger pot. My original tuber had been stored in dry sphagnum moss before I received it. They are said to do better if planted in pots and presoaking them in spring to wake them up is said to improve success with them. Philip |
"Presoak" should be "presprout" before replanting them. Like desert roses, there is a danger of losing them to rot if they are given a lot of water before they break dormancy. Philip |
The not remembering planting them might also be a function of their fondness for migrating if they're in the ground, they love to pop up somewhere new. Suzanne |
- Posted by karyn1 MD 7 (email@example.com) on Tue, Sep 25, 07 at 8:01
That's weird Suzanne, maybe that's what happened. The plants have certainly grown far from where they came up and are completely entwined in a PG hydrangea tree. It makes it look like the flowers are from the tree and not the lily tuber. Kind of pretty actually. Thanks all for the storage tips. Karyn |

WOW! Have you ever been busy! The woollies look fun and not too difficult, but those items in the third photo look trickier. That variegated yarn on the far right, the purple & green, is so rich looking! I really like it! I also like the second one from the left...Heck, I like them all!
Not sure how much knitting time you'll find with three children around, but actually, I have plenty of things that my own Mom made when I was small...and I'm third (and last). I think her cross stitching and crocheting were therapeutic!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (though a little late!)

True, though they do contract out some of these tasks to cleared third party defence-focused organisations, who definitely DO pay market rates.
With a focus on graduate recruitment, a culture of esprit de corps, access to awesomly cool geeky tech stuff, and good working conditions, and they tend to hang on to people for a fair bit longer than the government pay grades they are saddled with, would normally imply.
The brain drain does happen eventually.. but that's government, unfortunately.
